The Joe Rose Show airs weekday mornings from 6 - 10 a.m. Rose, who played seven seasons for the Dolphins ( 1980-86) , joined the WQAM morning show in 1992.

Crowder, 29, replaces Steve Goldstein as Adam Kuperstein's co-host weekdays from 1-3 p.m. According to WQAM, Goldstein left the station to pursue other opportunities.

NEW YORK If Ozzie Guillen does not return to the Miami Marlins, one player that won't miss him is Heath Bell. Bell said as much on The Dan Sileo Show on 560 WQAM Monday. "It's been an interesting year with Ozzie, and that's pretty much all I'll say about that," said Bell, who added a touch more. "It's a hard to respect a guy that doesn't tell you the truth and doesn't tell you face to face. There are probably reasons why. If I said something, if I did something, I'm going to own up to it. What you see is what you get. "I stunk in April, plain and simple.

Two of South Florida's drive-time heavy hitters are now teammates. Jorge Sedano, who previously had broadcast for 790 The Ticket in morning drive time against WQAM's Joe Rose, has moved to WQAM, where he now will anchor the station's 3-7 p.m. block, as well as serve as program director. In order to accommodate the switch, Dan Sileo, the former University of Miami football standout, will move to weekdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the slot previously held by Michael Irvin before the contract of the former NFL star was not renewed earlier this summer.

Miami Marlins General Manager Michael Hill Tuesday morning was reminded of the straightforward evaluation he offered about the team in front of the Showtime camera. In "The Franchise: A Season With The Miami Marlins," Hill says: "We have certain veterans who we thought would carry us in Hanley [Ramirez] and [Jose] Reyes, and that the kids would take that next step. [Giancarlo] Stanton to his credit is for the most part taking that step, but [Logan Morrison] has not and the veterans have crapped all over themselves.

Sid Rosenberg is one negotiation away from being back on the air. The acerbic sports-talk-radio host, who was fired by WQAM-560 April 7 after being charged with DUI in Hollywood, would take over the 6-10 a.m. shift on WMEN-640 AM "as soon as we get an OK" from Rosenberg's former station, WMEN general manager Steve Lapa said. "We want him, and we want him on the air," Lapa said. "If it were up to us, he'd be on today. " One of WMEN's two morning hosts, Armando Salguero, left the station last week after a two-year run, Lapa said.

WQAM program director Lee Feldman confirmed that Dan Sileo has replaced Sid Rosenberg on a permanent basis as the station's weekday host from 3-7 p.m. Sileo, who played football for the University of Miami in 1986, was fired by Clear Channel in Tampa on March 13 after calling three African American football players "monkeys" during his radio show. Sileo took over for Rosenberg on April 11, one day after Rosenberg was fired from WQAM following an arrest and DUI charge. Rosenberg also was charged with driving with a suspended license, according to the arrest report.

The more I talked about the Peyton Manning sweepstakes on my show, the more it became evident that Denver was the most logical choice. Even when ESPN's Adam Schefter tried to convince me last week that Tennessee had become the leader, I remained steadfast in my Bronco prediction. And truth be told with all the factors that were being discussed, it was really just two words that made Mile High the obvious choice. Those two words? John Elway. Doesn't it make sense that the future Hall-of-Fame quarterback would relate most to the recent Hall-of-Fame quarterback?
